Thune targets IRS staff's use of personal devices after reported failure to comply with TikTok ban
Fox News
Sen. Thune introduced a bill to stop the IRS from letting employees access sensitive data with their personal devices, citing the agency's recently reported noncompliance with a ban on TikTok.
"I have been sounding the alarm on the IRS’s troubling history of mishandling taxpayer information, and the bring-your-own-device program is getting added to that roster," Thune told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.
